That plaque on his Chinatown VIP club liquor cabinet really is pretty cringe.

'Added District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan: “I will waive rent for living in his head.”' Absolutely savage clapback.

Doesn’t the phrase “living rent free in your head” refer to someone being preoccupied with another individual with whom they have a disagreement to an unhealthy degree? You can’t waive rent if you’re the one doing the living, and by definition if someone is letting someone else “live rent free” in their head, the rent is already waived. Without any commentary on the rest of this (because I have no idea what’s actually going on), unless this is referring to something other than the common idiom, no this is actually a lousy clapback because it completely misunderstands the idiom.

They were riffing on the idiom. You're taking the idiom too literally.

Like when Biff Tannen says "why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?", that kind of riffing on the idiom, riffing on it like that.

Too clever by 50%

I suppose if they're thinking like if any third party wants to get in his head, they will declare rent is not due (waive seems wrong not just if you're living but in general if you're not the landlord) - which kind of works because of their position I think (but I'm not from the US so I don't really understand or want to bother looking into it), but yeah we've probably both thought about it too much and more than they did before posting as a quick joke at this point.
